On this Holy Saturday, a statement by Anne Barrett Doyle of Bishop
Accountability to add to the ones about the revolt in the Chilean church
over the episcopal appointment of Juan Barros that I cited on
Thursday: A Vatican spokesperson's dismissive statement
today defending Pope Francis's appointment of Chilean bishop Juan de la
Cruz Barros Madrid deepens the crisis of credibility that the pope is
facing. What's at stake here is nothing less than papal accountability.
Francis has pledged to discipline bishops who fail to protect children,
and the Chilean public, along with members of his own abuse commission, are determined to hold him to his promise. http://en.paperblog.com/the-abuse-crisis-and-the-church-s-empty-tomb-statements-by-anne-barrett-doyle-and-peter-isely-1182801/
